Friends nearby lost power, the wind blew pretty good, but we were fine here.  Never lost power and thank GOD we didn't get the storm here as bad as they were predicting.  I guess just a bit south did, and of course it seems NYC and NJ are still under water.  Crazy.  Hope any of our friends in that area are safe!!!

-14, but we still did some of the drills in early elementary school.  Sad thing is, today they do drills in the event some local comes into the school on a shooting spree instead.  My parents have recounted the day when JFK was shot and how school let out, without much of a word that it even was; teachers just left.  I'll have to ask them if they remember this day as well and what they heard about it.

Sounds like they know what they're talking about and they've taken everything into consideration.  That's good.  Slicing ya from breastbone to navel doesn't sound great though.  On the other hand, once they're in there, if there's anything that needs to come out they'll be able to see it and take care of it right then and there.  That IS a good thing.  We're all keeping you and the doctors in our thoughts here!

  Here I thought I was going to be coming in having to hollar at people not to get too political. 

SELL NO GUITARS!

Very true Zurf!  It would sure be true wilderness camping, bring with you whatever you may need.  Dig a hole, or bring in a port-a-john... bring water, or I think there may be some wetlands out at the far end of the 17!  LOL!  Hey, I would LOVE to see that land get used for something.  Hmmmm...  Chordie-Stock?

I do hereby identify myself as an interested participant residing in the Central NY area.  June gets tricky for us as the kids are generally in school here until the end, so July or August would actually work best.  Jim always has to go to Michigan mid-July so that gets a little tricky (he skipped it entirely the year we came down), so I guess August actually is the best month if I have to put ONE on the table. 

We have 17 acres of wooded land, I wish it had some electric and such running to it as it would make for an awesome campsite.  On the other hand, we also have close to an acre of backyard with enough room for tents.  My dad has even more space and is near some awesome fishing (I'm just close to a lake).  I know that wouldn't be most convenient for you Zurf, but it could be a heck of good fun... although I don't think the salmon start running usually until early September.  I'll have to triple check on that just for the heck of it.  We're good with heading south though.  It was a great time and a beautiful trip!

I'll bring dead cow, some Goat, and my Martin. 

It's amazing how much the Pikcs Package has changed since it's first trip around the world! 

Hi Bushy!!!    thank you for sharing the pics of the Picks (and thanks Zurf for posting!)

Hi Elliot and welcome to Chordie!  Have you perused the Recording section of the forum yet?  It's possible a mod from this section may actually move your thread there.  There's a ton of info there on recording your playing from the basics to setting up a virtual studio.  A lot of folks like the free Audacity software (or Garage Band if you have a Mac).  As for recording devices, they range from built in mics or simple computer mics and up.  I personally use my zoom recorder and then transfer the files to the computer and edit with Audacity if need be.  There are some pretty cheap options for recording, it all just depends on how much you actually consider cheap?

AWESOME!  Let us know when the happy new guitar day gets here, and be sure to post some pictures of your two babies together! 

Dave... the last time this thread was active was in 2008.    Who knows though, someone could be looking for the info still in 2012 I suppose.   

We all love chordie!  I'll give a big round of THANK YOU'S to you members offering the thanks.  It's because of the great members here, and the volunteer work that the mods and admin do that makes it great.  Yes, Admin does get a little cash for the ads, however I don't believe it makes any money, only helps support the fees required in hosting such an amazing site. 

So right back at ya, THANK YOU MEMBERS for being so great to keep such a great site going!!!

So very sorry to hear about the loss of your dear friend and family.  Heartwrenching to have a diagnosis, a plan to try to cure it and lose him anyway.  Blessings to you, your wife, and the entire family.
